Toronto, February 5, 2014 — Bullfrog Power, Canada’s leading green energy provider, and the David Suzuki Foundation (DSF), one of Canada’s most trusted voices on the environment, are joining forces to drive new action on climate change.
The partnership will encourage Canadians from all walks of life to make small but significant changes and to live greener. A public campaign will educate Canadians on Canada’s impact on the global climate and the central role that renewable energy will play as part of the solution. Through this campaign, Bullfrog Power and DSF are working together to demonstrate to all Canadians that renewable energy is an essential component of a model for a successful and sustainable future.
“Partnering with the David Suzuki Foundation is a natural choice for Bullfrog Power because we share a common set of values and an understanding that we all need to act now to preserve our environment for future generations,” said Peter Melanson, CEO, Bullfrog Power. “Together we will work to educate Canadians on practical solutions to reduce their home’s impact and ultimately to help reshape the Canadian energy landscape.”
For most of its 23-year history, the David Suzuki Foundation has made promoting solutions to climate change central to its activities. From providing green living tips to developing a renewable energy plan for Canada through the Trottier Energy Futures Project, DSF is consistently a leading Canadian voice on the environment. Likewise, for nearly a decade, Bullfrog Power — founded on the belief that consumers have a unique power to change the world — has been providing both homes and businesses across Canada with practical green energy solutions.
“The David Suzuki Foundation is excited to be partnering with Bullfrog Power to encourage Canadians to embrace clean energy,” said Ian Bruce, Science and Policy Manager at the David Suzuki Foundation. “The coming years are critical in advancing public understanding and action on climate change — the world’s greatest environmental and socioeconomic challenge — and we believe that working with Bullfrog Power will help to spur real and lasting change.”
